You and four other supervisors are at a meeting with your immediate boss, the department head to whom the five of you report. Also present are two other department heads and a member of the administrative staff. The subject of the meeting is sensitive.

Just minutes into the meeting the boss makes a statement that you know to be incorrect. You attempt to intervene, but the boss asks you to hold your comments. He seems to be focusing almost entirely on the other department heads and the visitor from administration.

Your boss proceeds to build an argument on his incorrect statement, and you can sense that he is verbally painting himself into a corner. Because you have already been silenced once, you are hesitant to speak up again and although you are sure of your information, you have no way of proving anything without making a trip to your office and rummaging through some files. Within the confines of the conference room, it would simply be your word against his and he is the boss.

What should you do? In deciding on a possible course of action, consider the implications of:

keeping quiet and allowing the boss to proceed in apparent error

Intruding, forcefully if necessary, until your information is heard by the group.
